I add 5 Cap fulls of prime on my water changes ( 250 G worth of conditioner ). Here is the process i take on my water changes .
- Shut the whole system down ( Filters/Heaters/Circulation Pumps/Lights )
- Start draining tank 30 % Most of the time ( Twice a week sometimes , Usually just once )
- Add 5 Cap fulls of Prime ( rated for 250 G )
- Start filling tank straight from tap water
- Add another 5 Cap fulls of prime after topped off with water ( Double dosage just in case )
At this point my water is already clouding up a lot, system still off. I wait 5 minutes then i turn everything on. Thats pretty much everything.
Also i don't do filter cleaning too often on my Bio filtration. All i change is my Mechanical/ Chemical once a month. I don't touch my bio filtration at all, just once every 3-4 months i rinse them with tank water. So you think 3 times a week with 10-15% water changes should b better?
